MORTAL DECAY - Sickening Erotic Fanaticism Reissue

Hells Headbangers Records

Well here we have another unholy grail from the past finally getting a decent reissue treatment and it's put out on vinyl. This is MORTAL DECAY's debut full length which originally came out in 1997 on Pulverizer Records on CD. Ah yeah his is definitely something which needed a damm good reissue for a long ass time. It would be nice if there was a CD reissue as well. 

For those of you who don't know, MORTAL DECAY were (well they're still around) a brutal / evil sounding Death Metal act from New Jersey in the 1990s. Their original claim to fame is really the first three demos the band put out from 1992 to 1995. I doubt it's still available now but years ago the band put out A Gathering of Human Artifacts which was all three demos on CD. That's a must have and also needs a reissue. 

But MORTAL DECAY's debut full length was different from their demos because the band brought in a new singer in Kelly Izquierdo. What's funny is their original vocalist John Paoline rejoined the band later on. And the band's last full length The Blueprint for Blood Spatter came out in 2013 on Comatose Music. By this time dear fuckin reader you're obviously realizing that I am a fan. 

So let me explain, back in the day MORTAL DECAY where contemporaries of the other New York City / New Jersey Death Metal scene bands. While a few of them were already signed to major labels. MORTAL DECAY relied on word of mouth advertising and tape trading. I mean these guys played shows with the well known bands but never got their due respect. 

But musically MORTAL DECAY were brutal and technical but down right fuckin evil sounding. I mean the stuff you hear today as far as Brutal Tech Death really pails in comparison. In fact even to their DM scene contemporaries at that time, late 1990's, I think these guys were far more interesting and evil sounding. Yeah this is a must have.
